If you're craving authentic Cuban food in Key West, El Meson de Pepe is the place to go. This…read morerestaurant offers plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating, and parking is easy thanks to the large public lot right next door. The food was outstanding. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and made with care. If there's one dish I highly recommend, it's the churrasco (skirt steak) served with rice, beans, and sweet plantains. The steak was incredibly juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. If you're wondering what to order, get the churrasco--you won't regret it. Amazing service! The restaurant itself has a fun atmosphere with beautiful Cuban-inspired décor throughout the dining room that adds to the experience. They also serve Hatuey, a Cuban-style lager brewed by Bacardí, which pairs perfectly with the meal and is worth trying if you've never had it before. From the delicious food to the welcoming atmosphere and convenient location, El Meson de Pepe delivers a fantastic Cuban dining experience. Whether you're a local or just visiting Key West, this is a restaurant that deserves a spot on your itinerary. Highly recommended!

We wanted an inside seat because of the decor so there was a short wait…read more Service was a little slow because of being short handed. We all tried new things. Ham & cheese sandwich, Cuban guacamole, side salads, Piccadillo and plantain, and the crochet sampler. Food was hot wonderful and very satisfying. Would definitely go back. Crochets were the bomb.

Efficiency is not the standard- weird for an airport bar…read more The bar is large. The food portions are decent. I went to the bar and got a drink and Cesar salad. It was during the shift changeover. Bartender wasn't very friendly. It took her a while to come over and order my drink, I ordered with lemonade and didn't realize it was pink lemonade- which would have been nice to inform me. I immediately cashed out on her request because she was leaving soon. My salad took a while to come out. The second bartender came and did try to sell me anything else. I had to ask for a new drink. I immediately put my card with the receipt placed in the glass. Waited until last call for my flight and gave up and threw cash. Unsure if they expected me to not tip and the service was bad, or if sub-par service is the standard. Go to Chili's - more variety and you know what you're gonna get.

Food is good. We had hot wings & key lime pie…read more Wings is deli-cious not hot at all. Sauce is perfect! Key lime was okay. Hubby ate it all. Ambiance is good. It's located by gate 5 & 6. Thank you chef for cooking well. After being stuck in the plane, we have to come out. We came right back & stay at bar. Very disappointing the lady at the bar is not properly customer service. We were looking for the game. NO bears supporter She said she can't change the channel & even comment how can people get disappointed with the game. Bear down!!!! We got stuck in the plane with technical support. Now we don't know when we fly. 5:31pm- Saturday 01/17/26

They had fresh water and a welcome sangria as I checked in. *They have daily coffee in the morning and cookies and iced tea in the afternoon. The only thing missing is a happy hour with wine and cheese! I spent a lot of time trying to find the right room (online). Without being there, it was hard to choose. I chose a poolside room (shared balcony). I was given room 3 and I loved it. :) There is plenty of room for two people. The bed was so comfy and the pillows were perfect. They have complimentary water (2 bottles) in your room. They have a mini fridge and options to buy snacks and liquor. They have fruit infused water next to the pool daily. You will stay hydrated. There is an honor bar next to the water; which has a few pricy options for a beer or other canned beverages. I did see plenty of people have their own drinks poolside. So, outside drinks are allowed at the pool...but no glass. They have two pools. I preferred the pool towards the back. There are lush beautiful plants all around you and you'll often see little lizards scurrying by the pool. They did not have a late checkout for my room but they were nice enough to hold my bags and have use of the pool while I waited for my friends to arrive. I would stay here again but during high season, the rooms get expensive. I loved room 3 but would love to someday stay in the cute cabin looking rooms up behind the pool. They have a covered porch, sitting room m, and a large bathroom. Overall, the service was solid. The grounds of the hotel are lovely, the bed was amazing, and the pools were a lovely respite from the crowded streets and heat of the city.

We came here during our cruise port stop and it was really busy at 11am. Get here early if you want a spot.

I stopped in there to have some lunch. I ordered the Cuban Mix sandwich and it was not very tasty. It came with shoestring fries that were limp and soggy.

There was an AWESOME band playing and the martinis were unreal. They have a wide variety of sweet and fruity to classic straight up. Each came with a little side car (extra).

BLUF: tasty food and a very relaxed atmosphere. Service a bit slow…read more Went with a group of about six people on a weekday for lunch. The servers were very friendly but just seemed to take a bit longer to get around to things and some other places. This restaurant serves quite a variety of food. In our group someone had meatloaf, someone had manicotti, several of us had lobster sandwiches, and some had hog's head sandwiches. It's easy to sum all this up to say everyone found their food very tasty, even the meatloaf what she wouldn't expect from a seaside resort town LOL. It's a nice location on the water, so even though you aren't very far from the road at all it's very peaceful. I would definitely go back if I was in the area. I was told by other regulars there that it gets pretty lively in the evenings, but I didn't get to find out personally

I stayed at the Marker Hotel in Key West. Beautiful…read moreestablishment and located in the historical port district of town. The pool area has an open restaurant called Cero Bodega. Atmosphere Tropical paradise, clean and all white and blue decor. Large bar and offer a variety of drinks and the menu. The menu is a surprise. Lots of different variety to choose from: I had the chicken sandwich with fries. It's bomb diggity good! Chicken seasoned just right and was juicy and succulent to the bite. On an egg roll bread, smothered with homemade guacamole and came with seasoned fries. I usually eat super slow, thou I was hungry and could not stop eating. It was so good that the next day, I was dreaming of the fries and chicken. However, I wanted to try something new on the menu so I had the local fish and chips. Again, my palate was happily surprised. The hog fish which is a white local fish, is amazing. Tender to the bite, Seasoned with Cuban spices and the dipping sauce was mango with a hint of wasabi, now the flavors are speaking to my gourmet tongue. This was savory and the yucca fries that came. I was rather disappointed. If you like yucca root, great. For me, it was tasteless and a bit hard. My suggestion to restaurant, the fries with the Chicken sandwich is a better pairing. Quality of food overall is high. Overall service, friendly thou the day we were there was short staff. The bartender taking orders and also waiting on tables. Management and staff needs to coordinate and communicate more effectively. Thou we called front desk and Matt, magnificent Matt came to the rescue and got an extra body to help serve. We were pampered like kings and queens. Thank you! Overall, I enjoyed my experience and will refer and return here. Dreaming of the chicken sandwich and fries....

If this review was based solely on food, I would give it four stars. I ordered the bagel and lox…read moreplatter and it was a very good - the bagel was perfectly grilled, lox was very fresh and capers, onion and hard-boiled eggs were the perfect compliments. The platter was a little stingy on the cream cheese, but when I asked for more, they gave me more than I needed. JT got an omelet with a side of bacon and was perfectly happy with it. Why only three stars then? When we sat down, it took almost ten minutes of waiting to get a menu. There were two girls working, one seemed to perhaps be new (?) and she was bussing and refilling water glasses. So we got water really fast, but she didn't think to offer us menus. JT finally flagged her down after we gave her a (long) benefit of the doubt and assumed menus were on the way. After that, we perused the menu and waited ... and waited ... when finally, another ten minutes later, the waitress came around and took our order. Note, the restaurant is completely open air. There is no A/C, only fans, so it gets warm and quickly. I asked for ice coffee - which they didn't have. For an open air restaurant serving breakfast, that was disappointing. It was way too hot for hot coffee and I really needed a caffeine fix. Anyway, we ordered...and I'm not kidding, it wasn't until 20 minutes later that we finally got our breakfasts. We didn't order anything complicated and aside from us, there were only three other tables...most of which were in the process of eating or had already eaten and were shooting the breeze. Judging from the few other reviews on here, I think we may have just gotten them on an off day. It's clear that there is talent in the kitchen - the food was REALLY good. It was just hard to enjoy it when we didn't feel like we had the courteous attention of the staff. We also ordered one of their pizzas a couple nights later around 8:30 PM - it was delivered to our room very quickly and it was a solid margherita pizza. We enjoyed that as well! Had our stay been longer, we may have tried the restaurant again, but with so many other options (like the cafe at Kermit's across the street) for a fast (and really yummy) breakfast, we opted to go off the hotel property for food.
